The Fog of War: Eleven Lessons from the Life of Robert S. McNamara (2003)

 
A film about the former US Secretary of Defense and the various difficult lessons he learned about the nature and conduct of modern war.
 
Insightful, at times even astonishing and shocking revelations from an important historical figure.
 
Maltin***1/2: "Director Morris explores myriad political, social, and moral issues that resonate even more tellingly today, and McNamara - 85 when the film was made - remains an outspoken and forceful personality who refuses to provide any easy answers about the history he helped to shape. An emotional powerhouse for anyone who lived through the era depicted here so vividly."
